Island Echoes

[Intro] Whispers of the shore, where the breeze knew our name Salt on our lips, old photos spilling in flame [Verse 1] We walked by the market lights, where laughter learned to rhyme You pointed at a boat and said, this is how summers shine The island wore our secrets like a weathered map And every step we took felt like a map back to the past [Chorus] Oh, Indonesia, you held our youth in your palm The drums, the tides, the palms, the dawn If memory is a song, yours plays on and on Indonesia, you kept us warm when nights were long [Verse 2] We rode the bikes through quiet towns, where old oaks whispered tales The aroma of Nasi Goreng stitched the night with gentle scales We traded jokes with strangers, learned their names like favorite songs In your warm currents, we found where our hearts belong [Chorus] Oh, Indonesia, you held our youth in your palm The drums, the tides, the palms, the dawn If memory is a song, yours plays on and on Indonesia, you kept us warm when nights were long [Bridge] Sometimes I hear the cicadas call and I’m back on those shores The sunset writes our initials on the waves, an echo we adore [Chorus] Oh, Indonesia, you held our youth in your palm The drums, the tides, the palms, the dawn If memory is a song, yours plays on and on Indonesia, you kept us warm when nights were long [Outro] So here I stand with a quiet grin and a pocketful of gold Thank you for the hours when we both felt young and whole
